[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About a 2.  I woukd say before we got married, it was about a 7.  But since then they have gone out of thier way to make me uncomfortable.  There is a long, long list, but the cake on mathers day that had my mil name (instead of happy Mother’s Day, it said happy Larla’s day) to ensure I knew it was not for me was something theee is no coming back from.

To give them a little credit. I am sure my exaustion at times comes across as non-friendly, as my husband puts on a good show of being helpful.  They have no idea how useless he truly is, so I am sure in thier minds he works hard, does work around the house and I live a life of luxury.  [/quote]

You just made me feel less lonely or crazy.  Your post could be mine, but I rate them in the negative.  Similar to the Mother’s Day cake, my MIL made a family toast to “here’s to family, everyone here is family except (insert my name)”.   DH and I had been married for 4 years and my 18 month old DD was at the table too.  That sealed it for me.   I am never really family to them that is clear.    Worst part.... DH never says a thing.  Ever.   And he makes a grand show of coming of being helpful and “shows up” when they visit for multiple days (stay a week or two) throughout the year.  The rest of the time he works 12 to 15 hour days.   We’ve been married 15 years.   I’m disappointed it only have myself to blame.  I’m working on being less negative but at the same time trying to find my voice.
